"You're still saying that? First of all, it's because of you.." She stopped. That's wrong. It's because of herself that all this happened.
Few hours back..
At library, she had blatantly refused to join Leo. Just because she keeps a sword doesn't mean she wants to be a warrior. To be honest, Leo just sounded crazy to her talking about army and defeating Aster. But he wasn't. When she was on her way to home with Risa, two men appeared suddenly and attacked them. They were holding spears. That's when Leo came running holding a dagger. Though it was a dagger, it was larger than normal. With a sheen of a black, the blade was atleast half the size of her sword. Her instincts warned her immediately to run. 'He's dangerous.' With a speed of lightning, he slashed one spear. The two attackers didn't have a chance.
And then he turned to her, "how's that? If you agree to join our army, I can defeat the other guy too for you."
She wasn't going to take this standing. She clasped the handle of her sword. "I alone would have defeated both of them. What are you doing here? And didn't I tell you clearly I don't want to join?"
What happened in the next moment was too quick for Elise and Leo to explain.
Leo pushed back Elise suddenly, when she saw a gust of wind cut through Risa. Her body started disintegrating little by little into tiny flickers of light. She was slashed by the spear. And then, everything became black. It was completely dark until she regained consciousness to find Risa's no more in this world.
"Her name was Risa." She told Leo. Her thoughts finally back to reality.
"You can remember her name?" He was surprised.
"I can still remember most of the things. But not for too long. People forget about the deceased immediately. But sometimes, it can extend upto a week."
"That is.."
"What?"
"No, she must have been someone close to you."
"Maybe."
"I really think you should come and join us."
"Why are you so fixated on the army? In the first place, why do you want to upthrone Aster?"
